- KarmaToolTypes is another one of those "edit your tooltypes using your
- favourite text editor" programmes. What makes KarmaToolTypes different,
- is that it uses notification and an appmenuitem.
-
- When started, KarmaToolTypes will add an AppMenuItem to your "Tools"
- menu. KarmaToolTypes reads two tooltypes from it's icon. They are
- EDITOR and SORT. EDITOR specifies which text editor you wish to use
- to edit the tooltypes. If none is specified, KarmaToolTypes will
- default to "Ed". The syntax for EDITOR is EDTOR=<editorname>.
- SORT decides wheter or not KarmaToolTypes should sort the tooltypes
- alphabetically before sending them to the texteditor. The syntax
- for SORT is SORT=<Yes/No>. SORT defaults to No.
-
- Knowing this, you are ready to use KarmaToolTypes. Select an icon
- and chooes KarmaToolTypes from the Tools menu. If all goes the way
- it should, your defined text editor will pop up with all the tooltypes
- from the icon you selected. Ready for you to edit.
-
- When you are finished editing, save the file. KarmaToolTypes will
- automatically register this, and save the new tooltypes to the icon.
- Unlike other tooltype editors out there, KarmaToolTypes does not rely
- on your text editor not detatching itself to find out when you quit
- it. KarmaToolTypes adds notification to the file containing the icon's
- tooltypes, and when the file is changed, KarmaToolTypes automatically
- registers this.
-
- If you do not want to change the tooltypes, you can either save them
- the way they are, or just quit the text editor. You can safely select
- another icon to edit instead. KarmaToolTypes will drop the notification
- on the old icon and forget all about it, no harm done.
-
- To quit KarmaToolTypes, you must send it a ^C signal.
-
-
- KarmaToolTypes is FreeWare, but I, the author, retain all rights to
- the program. KarmaToolTypes is (c) 1995 Christopher Landmark Naas.
- I do not feel KarmaToolTypes is worth any money. Nor are any of the
- other programmes out there that do the same thing :) If you like
- it, EMail me. If you don't like it, delete it and forget about it.
-
- KarmaToolTypes was tested for 30 seconds on my A4000/040. I do not
- know of any bugs, but should you find any, please EMail me and tell
- me how I can reproduse them.
-
-
- Remember, it will never be as good as it used to be.
